The Jackson® Pro Series Spectra Bass is a finely crafted instrument
with its very essence right there in the name—a bass for professionals. A
bold bass that’s more than just a cut above the others; a bass designed
to deliver the finest to the demanding and adventurous pro player. The
finest in style, tone, comfort and playability.
Starting with style, the all-new Pro Series Spectra Bass SBP IV features
a unique multi-laminate poplar burl/walnut/maple/walnut/mahogany body
wrapped in sophisticated Caribbean Blue or Transparent Black Burst
finishes, complete with a unique 2x2 color matched headstock with an
understated “J” logo.
The offset Spectra Bass body style was also innovatively designed with
the professional musician in mind, featuring a larger upper horn that
evenly distributes weight throughout the instrument for perfect balance
and playing comfort. The through-body five-piece maple/walnut/maple/
walnut/maple neck with graphite reinforcement ensures ultimate stability
and formidable sustain, while the speed neck contour and 12”-16”
compound radius caramelized jatoba fingerboard with 24 frets and oval
dark pearl inlays offer superior playability.
The Pro SBP IV provides a full-sonic spectrum for even the most
versatile and progressive bassists. Featuring alnico V magnets, the
Nordstrand® SB4 single-coil soapbar bridge and neck pickups deliver
an all-around pulverizing and striking sound with brighter, cleaner and
punchier characteristics. Wide-ranging tonal command comes from a
three-band active EQ, two-way toggle switch to bypass or engage active
circuit for the 3-band EQ, blend control and volume control. The two-way
toggle switch eliminates the risk of losing sound due to a dead battery
by bypassing the active circuit and making it easy to regain sound from
the bass without the use of battery power. An additional three-way toggle
switch dials in a specific mid-frequency range for even more pinpoint
tonal control.
This four-string bass also features a Jackson Single-String hardtail bridge
that enhances individual note attack and improves sustain.
